Photographs of persons wanted by the police in London
(1923)The Police Gazette was published by Authority by the London Metropolitan Police, and circulated, as confidential, to the police forces throughout Britain and Ireland. The contents were based on the information routinely submitted to the Criminal Record Office. One of the regular features was a section entitled Apprehensions Sought, in which each police force gave details of people for whom arrest warrants had been issued and were now on their Wanted list. The details given are: the name of the police authority (in bold) seeking an arrest; a brief description of the crime; the suspect's full name (in bold); C. R. O. number, year of birth, height, complexion, hair colour, eye colour, distinguishing marks such as scars; clothing &c. There then follows a resume of previous convictions. It was then sometimes additionally thought worthwhile to publish photographs of the wanted person: these do not repeat the details given in the original Wanted notice, but merely give the number and date of that item. Variations of surname spelling and aliases are noted in the descriptions, and these variants and aliases have also been indexed. This is the index to the photographs.
